X1 Yoga 3rd Gen S3 Sleep Linux

the X1 Carbon 6th Gen recently got the BIOS update version 1.30, which added a switch in the BIOS to enable S3 sleep for better Linux support. Otherwise the Laptops only support SI03 sleep.

Since the X1 Carbon 6th Gen and the X1 Yoga 3rd Gen are technically the same hardware, besides the Yoga stuff, it would be nice to also have these BIOS updates on the Yoga version, which is still at version 1.24.

Are there any informations if the S3 support is also coming to the Yoga 3rd Gen?

This is not an acceptable solution. Why should I manually deal with grub's configuration each time I update the kernel? It makes no sense for Lenovo to discriminate the X1 Yoga 3rd from the X1 Carbon 6th. Lenovo should add S3 support with a new BIOS for the X1 Yoga 3rd, just like what they did to the X1 Carbon 6th.

I fully agree that it is up to Lenovo to revise the X1Y3 BIOS. However, how often do you update your kernel, that a 15-s editing of the grub.cfg becomes a significant burden to you?

For me, the acpi patch is a fully acceptable solution until the new BIOS revision arrives. And believe me, this is really a minor issue compared to the lack of a Linux WWAN driver (X1Y3) or general malfunctioning of hardware under Linux (i.e., the X1Y2 OLED display behaviour in view of sporadic brightness changes and resume behaviour).

I don't think that this is an acceptable solution, since at least on my system there are issues with the touchscreen not waking up after suspend.This *is* really critical for a Yoga device.Does the touchscreen work for all of you?
